Pride and Prejudice Quotes from Novel to Film (Chapter 3)

Continuing from my previous post, Chapter 1, skipping Chapter 2, as there were no similar quotes to compare and contrast from both book and movie...and moving right on to Chapter 3...

Pride and Prejudice - Chapter 3

Novel

"I would not be so fastidious as you are,'' cried Bingley, "for a kingdom! Upon my
honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life, as I have this
evening; and there are several of them, you see, uncommonly pretty.''

"You are dancing with the only handsome girl in
the room,'' said
Mr. Darcy, looking at the
eldest Miss Bennet.

"Oh! she is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But there is one
of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I dare
say very agreeable. Do let me ask my
partner to introduce you.''

"She is tolerable; but
not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to
give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had
better return to your partner and enjoy
her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.''

"Oh! my dear Mr. Bennet,'' as she
entered the room, "we have had a most delightful evening, a most excellent
ball. I wish you had been there. Jane
was so admired, nothing could be like it. Every body said how well she
looked; and Mr. Bingley thought
her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice. Only think of that my
dear; he actually danced with her twice; and she was the only creature in the
room that he asked a second time. First of all, he asked
Miss Lucas. I
was so vexed to see him stand up with her; but, however, he did not admire her
at all: indeed, nobody can, you know; and he seemed quite struck with
Jane as she was going down the dance.
So, he inquired who she was, and got introduced, and asked her for the two
next. Then, the two third he danced with
Miss King, and the two
fourth with Maria Lucas,
and the two fifth with Jane again, and
the two sixth with Lizzy, and the
Boulanger --''

"If he had had any compassion for me,'' cried her husband
impatiently, "he would not have danced half so much! For God's sake, say no
more of his partners. Oh! that he had sprained his ankle in the first
dance!''

"She is the most beautiful creature I have ever beheld. But her sister, Elizabeth, is very agreeable." (Mr. Bingley)

"And then he danced the third with Miss Lucas." (Mrs. Bennet)
"We were all there, dear." (Mr. Bennet)
"Oh, poor thing. It is a shame she's not more handsome. There's a spinster in the making and no mistake. The fourth, with a Miss King, of little standing, and the fifth, again with Jane." (Mrs. Bennet)

"If he'd had any compassion for me, he would have sprained his ankle in the first set." (Mr. Bennet)

Another first look has been released (above photo by Robert Viglasky via Sundance Institute) of Keira Knightley, this time in her other upcoming film Colette, in which she stars with Dominic West. Keira plays the title role as a French novelist, Colette, overcomes an abusive marriage to emerge as a
leading writer in her country and a candidate for the Nobel Prize in

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the most successful film adaptation (I'm talking about the film version released in Theaters/Cinemas not the TV Mini-series version) ofJane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright's 2005Pride & Prejudice film (which was nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Actress for its lead star Keira Knightley; 2 Golden Globe including Best Actress nomination for Knightley; and 6 BAFTA nominations including The Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director) has the best ensemble cast. The main cast of P&P movie are incredible and multi-talented. Some of them have been working steady and continued to get recognized on
their own in various stage plays, television and film projects they've
done since their P&P movie was released a decade ago this month.
